Day 2: DR Team Attending Church

Sunday is my favorite day here in the DR.  I love worshipping with the people of Ebenezer Church.  The morning worship was full of dance, and praise, and worship through the word.  Bud shared the message and talked to us all about "A Time to Build".  At the end of the service we sang more worship and it got lively.  Tears come to my eyes each time I am here.  I love that we can all worship to the same God even when we speak different languages.  After the morning services, we had lunch and some rest and then dinner.  After dinner we headed back to the church for the evening services, which is even more lively.  My favorite part of the evening service was when Pastor Moise asked as to pray for someone beside us.  He was praying in the front and we were praying for the person next to us as they prayed for us.  So many voice praying at the same time.  I could not hear what Shelby was saying and she couldn't hear me, but all of our voices where lifted up to God, the one the prayers where directed towards.  Many voices, some in English, some in Creole, and some in Spanish all praying to our God.  The one who was and is and is to come.
